Today, it is considered the most important German human rights film festival with international appeal.

The film festival shows films from all over the world that impressively tell stories of human rights violations and the resistance against them. With a comprehensive accompanying programme, the festival also offers a unique platform for exchange and networking between NGOs, filmmakers, activists, politicians and the public.


The HRFFB shows films from around the world that impressively tell stories of human rights violations and the resistance against them.

With a comprehensive accompanying programme, the festival also offers a unique platform for exchange and networking between NGOs, filmmakers, activists, politicians and the audience.
Prominent human rights activists, politicians and artists such as Ai Weiwei, Nadia Murad, Filippo Grandi, Loujain al-Hathloul, Gesine Schwan and Enissa Amani have served as patrons in recent years.


"Films have the power to draw attention to injustices, move people and provide impetus for a better world. This year, we want to take a constructive look at the future together with Reporters Without Borders. Especially at a time when the world is threatening to fall apart, decisive action for democracy and human rights, for freedom of the press and freedom of expression, is more important than ever. The HRFFB stands for this like no other festival in Germany," says Friedrich-Rust.
